Shopping in Chicago

I'm coming to Chicago in three weeks time, staying in Wicker Park. This will be my 3rd visit, and on both previous occasions I've been to "Quake", as well as the usual Toys R Us, Walmart and Target. This year I'm also planning to check out another store I've found on the net called "Yesterday". Has anybody got any other recommendations for toy/collectors stores? I don't only collect Star Wars (though predominantly I do), but all sorts of other action figures and collectibles, both new and vintage. I won't have a car, but transport all over the city shouldn't be a problem.

I was going to recommend "Alien Entertainment" but since you don't have a car, and it is in the Suburbs, it would be difficult or costly for you to get out there. It's on North Ave, In Villa Park, IL. In a little strip mall, can't remember the name of it off hand. They have a nice collection of stuff there.
